Samsung Galaxy A54, it’s everything you need and nothing that you don’t, says Marques Brownlee. What he meant is, this is the phone that has all the features that one needs. You won’t have to compromise with anything. Going below this price means you are making some compromises.
For example, when you buy a budget or midrange phone, you are compromising with certain features. Some phones may have bad cameras, may not be capable of shooting usable stable video, the display quality may not be good, or you may be compromising on battery life.
